    Had a question from Dan .... how does one leave a community? 

    I poked around a bit but didn't see that I was able to do that.  Is that something we have to send to the admins to do? 

    Are new (consultant) members added to all the communities or just the 90 Minds Community?

    I am thinking it's an admin setting cause the HL FAQ shows the below info, but I do not have an option listed to Leave Community

    Q: HOW DO I LEAVE A COMMUNITY OR UNSUBSCRIBE FROM A DISCUSSION?

    A:  Go to your profile and click on the "My Account" tab. Choose "Community Notifications" from the drop-down menu. Here, you will see a list of available communities and those to which you've subscribed. Select "Leave Community" under the Actions column for the discussions you wish to leave.

    sorry, I missed the second question

    One of the issues we had adding new members to Socialcast was they didn't auto add to all the available communities for their membership type.  It would take a fair amount of time to add them everywhere and if we missed something is wasn't always obvious.  Higher Logic has a feature that allows you to set predefined community enrollment and we take advantage of this since it saves us time and helps members see all the discussion areas available to them. 

    Each community has a default setting for email digests.  If the digests are too frequent or not relevent they can adjust the digests by community to suit their preferences.

    Admins control the setting and members can't leave a community BUT they can unsubscribe from the email digests. It's covered in the Higher Logic Getting Started guide. 

    Select the MY ACCOUNT tab dropdown. Review each of the options in the dropdown, and make sure
    you opt-in (or out) as needed.

    Inbox will take you to your personal (or direct) messages.
    Privacy Settings determine who can see what about you (i.e., only members can look at your email address, etc.)
    Email Preferences control how often you receive emails and type (system emails, community emails, etc.)
    Community Notifications For each Community, you have the following email delivery options (These can also be adjusted on the community home page):
    • Real-time sends an email every time a new message is posted.
    • Daily digest sends one email to you each day, consolidating all the posts from the previous day.
    No Email allows you to be part of the group without having emails sent to you. You can still post and read others' messages by logging into the community site.
